Chapter 2: Preparations

Jessica let the warm water cascade over her body, after rinsing the shampoo out of her hair. She was in a good mood after having had lunch with Dave and some friends, but she missed her fiancé Mike quite a bit. She'd flown down for Dave's graduation after her own graduation from Harvard, and they were going to go clubbing and she'd planned to stay in LA for the summer before she started medical school back home at Stanford. Mike was going to fly in on Saturday night but he was a consultant based in the Bay Area and he'd be traveling quite a bit, at least until he got the engagement manager position that he wanted. It was nice that he was going to have a month off starting in about a week, and they planned to travel, hopefully with Dave, but they hadn't set any plans in stone yet. She wished her twin brother would be able to find a nice girl soon, but he was so suspicious of everyone's motives. Jess knew that her brother's wealth was a big chip on his shoulder. Jess thought of Mike again, and noticed that she was rubbing herself while lost in thought. She ran a finger between her labia and sighed softly. Mike was a good lover and a great guy, and she loved him a lot. While Jess and Mike weren't particularly inventive or creative in their lovemaking, she loved every minute of it. Jess briefly wondered how her twin brother was in bed, but quickly shook her head and turned off the water.

Dave grabbed a pair of Earnest Sewn Hutch jeans from his closet, and selected a black polo t-shirt and soft leather blazer along with some Puma sneakers. He usually dressed fashionably but casually, but was very picky about his appearance. A splash of Piper Nigrum cologne and a little work on his hair fixed his ensemble for the evening. He checked himself over in the mirror and went downstairs to wait for his sister and roommate.

Missy was waiting for him downstairs, wearing a black Beatles T-shirt and a faded pair of Seven jeans that fit her rounded bubble-butt perfectly, and Dave gave her an appreciative look and smile. Missy blushed but blew Dave an air-kiss. Although the two best friends flirted sometimes, it was mild and both parties didn't feel like risking their friendship by exploring the boundaries.

Dave knew his sister was going to take awhile, and sent Missy upstairs to check on her progress. Missy knocked on the door of the guest room and Jess called for her to enter. Missy pushed the door open and her jaw dropped. Jess was standing in front of the mirror wearing only a pair of black thong panties, brushing her luxurious brown hair and Missy's eyes went wide. Jess's C-cup breasts were flawless and she showed no tan lines on her golden-brown body. Although Missy had never thought of other females in a sexual way, she unconsciously found herself getting a little wet. "Jess... you're so beautiful," said Missy in a very small voice. Jess looked at Missy and smiled, then told her that she would be down in a few minutes. Missy nodded and went downstairs, still a bit shell-shocked.

Dave saw his roommate come down the stairs and wondered what had happened, as Missy was a little pale and was walking unsteadily. "Oh shit, was my sister naked again?" asked Dave. Missy could only nod, and Dave continued, "Yeah, we were kinda casual about nudity at home, and I don't think Jess would cover up for a girl, she's something else, isn't she?" Missy nodded again, "Well if you're comparing other girls to her, then no wonder you don't have a girlfriend." Dave laughed, "Don't sell yourself short sweetie, you're a beautiful girl yourself." Missy blushed again, and went into the kitchen to get herself a glass of water. She sat down on the couch and shook her head vigorously, trying to get herself straightened out. She'd been turned on by a girl, then her roommate said she was beautiful after obviously seeing his beautiful sister naked on a regular basis. "What a weird day," she thought to herself.

Jess sauntered down the stairs, and both Dave and Missy stared. She was wearing an off the shoulder low-cut top that was white with sea green stripes that showed the top of her breasts and she obviously wasn't wearing a bra. She matched that with a knee-length skirt in the same sea-green color and an alexanderite necklace, bracelet, and earrings. She looked spectacular, like an exotic supermodel. "Holy shit Jess, every guy in the place is going to be after you!" said Dave, with a huge smile, and Missy just continued to stare. Dave snapped his fingers in front of his friend and whispered teasingly, "What the fuck Missy are you getting the hots for my sister?" Missy blushed and shook her head no, and then said loudly, "Well let's get going guys." As Dave's SL65 was only a two seater, they took Missy's late model BMW 5 series. A dark purple color, Dave always teased Missy for having a "pink" car, and her pink "Hello Kitty" seat-belt pads did not help her avoid further teasing. They were going to meet up with Dave's friend Paul and his girlfriend Autumn in LA, so Missy headed towards the 405 so they could start heading to Hollywood.

As it was almost 8 PM in LA, traffic was only moderate heading north, so Missy got in the carpool lane and they made good progress northwards. Jess stuck her head forward from the back seats and started some small talk with Missy as she drove. Jess stayed at Dave's place every couple months so she and Missy were good friends, and they chatted about their plans for the summer. Missy had also just graduated from UCI a few days back, and was considering several grad programs for the fall. Like Dave, she was a econ major and was debating getting her MBA right out of undergrad. She'd been admitted to the Merage school of Management at UCI but wasn't sure if she wanted to start so soon. "Missy, what are your plans for the summer?" asked Jess.

"I was thinking about just relaxing this summer and going to school at UCI in the fall but I'm not sure if I want to start right away," replied Missy, as she brushed a lock of hair out of her face. She reached up and retrieved her sunglasses as the sun was low on the horizon and fairly bright. Jess studied her friend, and impulsively said, "Mike, Dave, and I, were kinda talking about going to Europe this summer for a few weeks, you should come with us!" Dave's eyes went wide but he kept his composure. His sister did this sort of thing fairly often, her spontaneity was part of what made her so endearing. Sometimes though, it could be a bit much, as they hadn't discussed where they were going at all, much less bringing his roommate. Still though, he'd been on several vacations with Missy and she was a good traveling companion. And also... Dave broke into a huge grin. "Yeah, that would be cool actually. I have some ideas of for an awesome trip, I've been thinking about this for awhile. You should definitely come, Missy!" Now it was Jess' turn to be surprised, and she put her hand on Dave's shoulder. "Dave, what do you have planned for us?" Dave smiled mysteriously, "Well I figured it would be more fun to surprise you guys."

Missy continued on the 405 until the Sunset exit north of Westwood and headed east. Traffic was heavy as usual but everyone was used to it. "So how was your spring in Boston, Jess?" Missy asked, as she wove her way through the traffic. "It was OK, I love the city, but the weather this spring was terrible. It was either really hot or really rainy, and it changed all the time! I'll be happy to be back in the Bay Area again," replied Jess. Dave rolled his eyes. While his sister loved their home in Silicon Valley, Dave hated it. He was much more comfortable in Orange County. "Where are we meeting Paul and Autumn?" asked Missy, and Dave mentioned that they would start the evening at Miyagi's, and asked if the girls had eaten. They demurred and he mentioned that they could get food there as well as a few drinks, and everyone agreed that that was a good idea.

Missy noticed a SUV pulling out of a parking space and quickly darted in. They were happy that they didn't need to pay for parking and a bit surprised to find a spot on Sunset on a Friday night. Although they had to walk a few blocks to actually make their way to the restaurant, it was a beautiful evening and the ocean breeze was clear and refreshing. Missy untied and put on her hooded sweatshirt as she felt the breeze hit. She felt her nipples harden and cast a quick self-conscious glance at Dave but he was oblivious. However, the ever-observant Jess caught the motion and smiled thinly. Jess took Missy's arm and the three chatted as they walked down Sunset. Dave pointed out various people and made outrageous comments as they walked, drawing giggles from the girls. He and his sister had always liked to people watch and Hollywood was a great place to do it. As they came up on House of Blues, Dave saw a very tall, dark-complexioned man wearing a burgundy-colored velvet pinstriped suit, with a velvet top hat holding a cane, the gold chain of a pocket watch emerging from his watch pocket. He was wearing white gloves and looked somewhat impatient as he checked his pocket watch. The light turned, and just as the three friends were about to start walking, a stretch limo pulled up and a tall stunning blond woman stepped out. In her stocking feet, she would have probably had seen eye to eye with Dave, but in her four-inch heels she was very imposing. She wore a burgundy colored strapless gown and sashayed her way to the man with the top hat. He took her arm and they entered the club. Missy whispered something to Jess, who burst out laughing as they continued down the street. "Girl, that is a lot of something, but I'm pretty sure that isn't a woman!" Missy blushed prettily and giggled. Dave just shrugged, as these things were pretty normal in Hollywood.
